A timely and authoritative update to a leading text on the applied electromagnetics of transmission lines In the newly revised second edition of Applied Electromagnetics: Early Transmission Lines Approach, experienced engineer and professor Stuart Wentworth delivers an up-to-date and authoritative discussion of the electromagnetic foundations of signal transmission. The book explains practical applications for wireless systems, transmission lines, waveguides (including optical fiber), and antennas. Wentworth provides a detailed theoretical grounding of the subject and combines it with hands-on MATLAB simulations available on the web that help students understand critical concepts. Perfect for undergraduate students of electrical engineering, Applied Electromagnetics: Early Transmission Lines Approach will also benefit researchers and educators in electrical engineering.
